This comparative and experimental study investigated the innovative techniques and artistic results of Jingdezhen porcelain with mountain, river, and tree motifs. The researcher developed This new technique called Slip Nerikomi (Squeeze method with concentrated clay water: Slip). Then, incline the piece of equipment so that the concentrated soil water flows in the desired direction. To achieve a more natural appearance, spraying water on the piece of work is necessary. Patterns were created using Nerikomi (twisted clay) and traditional techniques by studying the works of porcelain masters who patterned the Jingdezhen landscape. Therefore, the researcher gathered data, classified the works, and compared them based on their landscape patterns. The researchers can develop a novel landscape painting technique using the collected data. Studies have demonstrated that the Slip Nerikomi technique can create landscape patterns comparable to traditional direct porcelain painting. Cobalt oxide blue pigments were combined with clay to create a porcelain painting medium. Then, this substance was utilized to create art on porcelain. Using the method of swirling with the flow, the Slip Nerikomi technique not only displays the scenery's character well but also allows for the display of other visual effects, such as thick or thin areas and light or dark areas. This new technique can be used to create porcelain landscape patterns. It also contributes to enhancing the workpiece with artistic qualities such as naturalness and flexibility, thereby creating aesthetic value. In addition, it can serve as a guide for future porcelain artists
